If I told my school counselor I was raped, would she keep it confidential?

Question by michelle: If I told my school counselor I was raped, would she keep it confidential?
I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I talked to her for 3 years for a period once a month, but it doesn’t fit in my schedule anymore for this year.

All she could do is encourage you to report it, but she can not do so herself.. everything you say has to be confidential other than if she believes you’d harm yourself or others: ie suicidal thoughts/actions, or saying you want to kill someone.

If you were raped, you really need to tell a trustworthy adult. This crime will not stop until there’s more awareness and if you tell someone the guy who did it won’t be able to hurt any other girls.
